In his free time, Torres enjoys swimming, listening to music, and spending time with younger children. What has been your favorite game of the season? Why? Bluffton because there was a big crowd and it was a close game. They were a good team so it was fun beating them. If you could have one teacher as a parent, who would you chose and why? Mr. Bartlett, no doubt. He’s an interesting guy. I feel like we would have some fun. Favorite food: Alfredo Do you have any pregame rituals? I always listen to Drake. |
